Maria Lassnig (1919–2014) is internationally recognized as one of
the most important painters of the 20th and 21st centuries. The
leitmotif of her painting, the act of rendering her “body
awareness” visible found additional expression in film in the
early 1970s. During her time in New York, Lassnig studied animation
at the School of Visual Arts and began to film in 8mm and 16mm.
While several of these New York films have long since been part of
her canonical works (e.g. Selfportrait, Iris, Couples, Shapes),
many remained unfinished. These "films in progress" can be regarded
as autobiographical notes as well as an artistic experiment
featuring many of Lassnig’s recognizable sujets and methods. In
2018, this filmic legacy was restored and in many cases completed
according to Lassnig’s original concept and instructions by two
close collaborators, artists Hans Werner Poschauko and Mara
Mattuschka, and presented to great international acclaim. This
English-language publication provides the first comprehensive index
of Lassnig’s film works, offering insight into the filmmaker’s
world of ideas through a wide selection of Lassnig’s own
previously unpublished notes. It also includes a selection of
Lassnig's "films in progress" on DVD. Two essays by James Boaden
and Stefanie Proksch-Weilguni place Lassnig’s work in the context
of the US-American film avant-garde of the 1970s, while
conversations with Mara Mattuschka, Hans Werner Poschauko and the
restoration team shed a light on the rediscovery of Lassnig’s
fascinating films.
